Interesting article on a "divide", on plenty of good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious, - I am not so happy with the hooks, because "street" and "mountain range" seem not to get to the point. The image doesn't really help, and the caption is way to long. Try again? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:34, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
Tried different image and caption here (original is still on the article). I went for a little mystery in the initial hooks, thinking that tofu, curtains, streets, and mountains having nothing to do with each would raise an eyebrow and pique interest. But how about:
- ALT2:
... that the Tofu Curtain divides two neighborhoods in Melbourne and two counties in Massachusetts? - ALT3:
... that the Tofu Curtain runs down a road in Australia and along a mountain range in Massachusetts? - ALT4:
... that the Tofu Curtain has been cited in Massachusetts, Michigan, California and Melbourne, Australia? - ALT5:.. that the Tofu Curtain can be a political, socioeconomic, ethnic or culinary barrier?

- Gerda Arendt, what parts of these are working for you? Morganfitzp (talk) 22:24, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you. I like ALT5 as it is, and would change just one word in ALT2, liking that even better.
- ALT6:.. that a Tofu Curtain divides two neighborhoods in Melbourne and two counties in Massachusetts?
I confess that I don't think the image helps much, - better go for quirky ALT6 ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:38, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
